Where the mind is full of fear
Where the
mind is full of fear
and the head is held low
Where the
knowledge is unimportant
and world is stolen by internet
Where
people survive as groups
in social media where words come out
from
preposterous chat by impostors
where ceaseless prowling stretches its
arms
towards
abduction where thinking
is permanently damaged
Where
logic ceases and thinking dies
where education has no meaning
where
personality succumbs to hero worship
where caste thrives and corruption
flourishes
where religion rules the senses
where tradition serves
the purpose of exploitation
where the mind is led forward by
politics
into
ever shrinking thought and faction,
into the nation of half alive
zombies
my father, my country has awoken. - poolabala
Where the mind is without fear - -Rabindranath Tagore
the head is held high
where the world has not been broken up
into fragments by narrow domestic walls
where words come out from the depth of truth
where tireless striving stretches its arms
towards perfection
where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom,
my father let my country awake.
